Andrea Gardner works in the realm of staged photography. She creates diorama-like set-ups in her studio which consist of old paintings, artificial plants, taxidermied animals, soil, insects and people. Her staged tableau show an ongoing interest in romantic interpretations of the landscape and a revising of what is considered "picturesque". Through blending the real with the unreal, the photographs explore our relationship with animals, nature and the environment.
